Dublin could get new motel
Dublin Economic Development Director Karen Wright announced to the monthly meeting of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce board that Dublin is being considered as the site for a Cobblestone Inn.

Lee steps on city manager
Dublin City Manager Lannie Lee, less than 3 months after being named to that position, Monday tendered his resignation, saying the job was just not for him as there was too much stress and it was time for him to retire.
That came at the conclusion of a very busy meeting for a new council with four new members including a new mayor.
Lee had served as interim city manager since last fall before being named to that position as well as serving as police chief until a new chief could be hired and on duty. Lee had served as police chief for 12 years and had filled in along with other city department heads as acting city manager on several occasions.

Turning Back The Pages
100 YEARS AGO
June 13, 1912
Frisco freight train No. 38 was wrecked in Granbury, the engine jumping the track and turning over. In the wreck, Fireman Dan Mason of Brownwood suffered a broken arm. Another man, Brakeman Russell of Fort Worth suffered a broken leg that later had to be amputated.
I.T. Winningham of Granger submitted to an operation that removed 8 square inches of cuticle from his body to be grafted to his 8-year-old daughter. The child was badly burned when she overturned a pitcher of gasoline while her father was vulcanizing an automobile tube. At the time of the accident, Mr. Winningham narrowly escaped the loss of his hands from the burns incurred while beating out the flames that enveloped the body of his daughter.
